Great Southern Football League

Any conversation requires SFL clubs to have an associated Netball club to bring with them

It is what makes GSFL so much more of an enjoyable day as it has an entire community/town feel to it.

Conversely, the SFL clubs are going to have far too many juniors, if they're to align with the GSFL.

But would it need 20 clubs to make a two division Fleurieu Football League a viable proposition? Because I’m guessing 3 or 4 SFL clubs would be knocking on the AdFL door if any serious merge discussions commenced.

You're meaning the clubs with the strongest juniors set-up?

If that's the case, there's not a lot of reason to amalgamate, as they're the strongest senior clubs too

1000% agree with this

The junior set up in the SFL sucks too with games played on Sunday etc with no atmosphere, love the full schedule community feel the GSFL has.

Uhh, that's the overflow comp.

SFL Saturdays feature U13, U15, U17.5, Bs and As

Sundays is minis, C Grade, female footy and the "extras", who also head to the SANFL Juniors.

I understand that, I prefer the current set up in the GSFL where Moddies, Minis, JC, SC, B and A all play on the same day.

Its great seeing the Moddies and their parents stick around supporting and following the older grades and I would hate to lose that and have the moddies and minis relegated to a Sunday morning.

Round 8

Strath v Myp/Sel. - Strath surprised last week by being competitive against Victor. Mudlarks arnt firing on all cylinders but should still win this comfortably
Myp/Sell by 63 points

McLaren v GPE. - Non contest this one unfortunately
McLaren by 117 points

Victor v Willunga - A good test for Willunga to see where they're out? Victor to win with the margin dependent on what line up they have
Victor by 34 points

Yank v Creeks - Shouldn't be much in this. Yank had good form early in the season and with a bit of luck could've been pressing for a top 5 spot instead sitting in 7th on 2 wins. They've copped a few hidings the last month from the Top 3 teams which Creeks did as well when they played them. Creeks have been a bit depleted the last few weeks but get some important INs for this game which may be enough to get them over the line
Creeks by 14 points

Compass v Bays. The top 5 is probably set already and if Compass are any chance to break into it they simply have to win this. They're a chance for sure but Bays have the form to get the nod here
Bays by 26 points

[field of dreams]

Looks about right to me JJ.
Victor side will be stronger than last week. Willunga have been building nicely since their only loss by 49pts to McLaren in round 3. Should be a cracker.

Round 8

Strath v Myp/Sel. -
Myp/Sell by 63 points

McLaren v GPE. -
McLaren by 117 points

Victor v Willunga -
Victor by 34 points

Yank v Creeks -
Creeks by 14 points

Compass v Bays.
Bays by 26 points

Strath were competitive again going down to Pongy by 42pts

McLaren destroyed GPE by 240pts. I did hear a rumour GPE had lots out with covid.

Willunga d VH by 3pts. Close competitive game all day. VH led for 3/4 before it was all Will early in the last kicking 3-3 before VH managed a point.
VH perhaps wasteful in front of goal early missing set shots. Willunga missing Hoffman, Hutchens, Mills, Nobes, Altus, Scanlan…. Whilst they have lost some and gained some, they really aren’t that different to the side that lost their first 7 and finished 7W, 11L last year.

Yank d LC by 49. Finally did what they’ve been threatening.

EB d MC by 41.

The top 5 is set at round 8. But at least those 5 will have a great battle to get double chance positions.

Gsfl take this game seriously or not?

McLaren by 32 over Bays
Creeks by 43 over GPE
Compass by 9 over Yank (Could go either way)
Willunga by 73 over Strath
Victor by 28 over Myp/Sel

[field of dreams]

Was an interesting day.

Bays did McLaren by 17 (with great accurate kicking 9-1)

Creek d GPE by 71

Compass 11-12 d Yank 1-8 !!

And willunga were losing to winless strath at 3/4 time. 4-5 to 2-2. Then kicked 6 in the last to win by 15. Weather cleared later at Pongy so I assume the same occurred at Willunga.

Good battle at Pongy with VH prevailing by 25.

[field of dreams]

Round 1 results were:

VH d GPE by 107
McLaren d Pongy by 24
Willunga d bays by 3
Yank d Strath by 24
Compass d Creek by 49

Tips for tomorrow …. as above

Rd 10 provided the most competitive round for the season with no margins of 50 points or higher for the 1st time.
A couple of teams reversed their 1st rounds results which wasn't that surprising.

Victor surprisingly only won by 49 against GPE Resting a few players maybe?

McLaren repeated the dose against Myp/Sel with a similar margin of 21 this time

Willunga / Bays game looked set for another cliffhanger with the scores level at 3/4 time but Willunga put their foot down in the last kicking 6 goals to 1 to win by 31 points and further consolidate a top 3 spot.

Strath broke the ice with their 1st win for the season, getting reward for their recent competitive efforts by downing Yank by 1 point? Yank again blowing a win for the taking with poor kicking for goal which has been a regular theme for them which has arguably cost them at least 3 wins.

Any chance Compass had of challenging for a finals spot were made even tougher as the Creeks caused a minor upset , leading all the way to hang on by 10 points. Trailing by 17 points at 3/4 time, Pinyon put Compass within 4 points when he kicked his 3rd goal with 5 mins to go and appeared to have the momentum but the Creeks replied within 30 seconds and then despite making a few clangers in the last 4 minutes, Compass were unable to take advantage of them.
